hello

Another friday has come again so quickly...

I thought we were due for spring, I had some flowers up in my yard, little crocuses and then we got snow...

inches of snow...

days of snow...

But it has all melted again now 

and I have been working on a mandala (still in progress)

 

 for my e-class; 

Falling Into Mandalas 

coming out in July, 2016

You can signup at coursecraft here

 (also still in progress),

and I have been working on little alphabet children

 (I can't decide between detailing in pencil.... or pen. Goldie and Tim are pen, and Annie and Meg are pencil.)  

.

And I have been working on some fabric too, 

for Spoonflower's "Sprout" contest...

they are looking for a fabric that would work well in a Kimono style pattern. 

See you soon,

work in progress

I have been painting girls in my sketchbook, and doing watercolor quotes just cause I felt like it, and also filming myself painting  mandalas for an e-class. I took some photos  of the sketchbook and quotes to share but accidentally deleted them and I am at home and I left the art at work so I can't show them to you this morning. 

I do have two in progress shots of one of the mandalas. 

I planned to use it for the e-class but once the wing showed up now I am not so sure if it will be included since I had planned to make it an easy mandala to recreate...

"Falling Into Mandalas"

I have just been working a bit on an e-class on how I paint mandalas, just getting started really so not much by way of advertising to show yet...

Here's a few in progress shots of one of the mandalas I will show. I hope to have about 6-8 videos along with about twice as many mandalas... I am excited to be painting again, it's been at least a month I just didn't feel like it. (Only wanted to do english paper piecing) The quilt is coming along nicely, but oh, so slow. More photos of both projects soon...
